Answer:

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the components are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

Desired outcomes:

2 components which function properly, from a set of 5. So

D = C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = 10

Total outcomes:

2 components, from a set of 6. So

T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = 15

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{15} = 0.6667

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Explan why partoning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:2 is not the same as finding half the length of the directed in s
lara31 [8.8K]
A ratio of 1:2 means that there are 3 parts in total. One part will be before the desired point, and 2 parts will be after the desired point. This is the same as finding the point that is 1/3 the length. Half the length of the segment would mean there would only be two pieces, each of equal size.

Write a compound inequality that the graph could represent.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
A solid dot on the graph of an inequality indicates that the number is contained within the inequality, so yo should use \leq or \geq to represent that situation, whereas a white dot indicates that the number is not contained within the inequality. 

Our graph is telling us that x is greater or equal than -1, and also x is less than 3. So our inequality will be:

-1 \leq x \leq 3
